    Hayden had no choice but to emulate us. Tho with a 22re, and 37” tires, there wasn’t a lot of power:rofl:

    I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks for posting all of this. I took time out of my day to sit down, have an iced tea and flip through all of your pages. How thoroughly enjoying!

    Thank you for taking the time to share such great stuff. We mostly head north from NY to northern Quebec but have started to explore the Canmore, Banff, Jasper area recently (not in our truck, mind you). Might be the most beautiful place I've ever been!

    Thanks again ... I look forward to following along on your outstanding adventures!

    Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it. I enjoy shooting the pics, and really love the country i get to travel thru. Should you decide to bring the truck out, let me know! I'll happily give you a guided tour!

    Nothing would be better ... You think my truck will make it back? :)

    But seriously, if I were you I would contact the Overland Journal. With your knowledge, expertise and photos, you could do a great article for them on a place that is so spectacular it should not be missed!

    Look forward to your next adventure!

    In spite of the looks of it, the weather was well above freeze, and I actually wound up with a good sunburn!

    This was my view, so I waited for everyone to clear the trail. Then I hammered it. I hit about 55-60mph:D

    And I hit the creek.

    Which wasn’t frozen.

    And it pulled me in, and buried me.

    Again:rofl:

    After enjoying the falls and some food for a bit, I tried some deep snow. And got stuck.
